Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk spoke after the match against Corendon Alanyaspor. He mentioned that Torreira fainted during the halftime break, saying, "Torreira fainted at halftime. The heat also had an effect. We substituted him with Lemina at halftime. Kaan and Yunus continued to have pain, so we didn't use them. They will have check-ups tomorrow.

Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements after the 1-0 victory against Alanyaspor in the Super League.
"WE ARE THINKING ABOUT TWO MATCHES"
Evaluating the match, Okan Buruk said, "As soon as the match ended, we went inside without experiencing that joy, the joy of victory, the joy of breaking a record. In the last 15-20 minutes of the match, what we did... In the first half, it went more as we wanted, but in the last part, especially after the last substitutions, we should have performed better. We are thinking about two matches. Today, our biggest concern was thinking about both this match and the next one."
"FAINTED AT HALFTIME"
Explaining the health issue Torreira experienced at halftime, the experienced coach said, "Torreira fainted at halftime. The heat also had an effect. We substituted him with Lemina at halftime. Kaan and Yunus continued to have pain. That's why we didn't use them. They will have check-ups tomorrow. We didn't want to risk them."
"VERY READY FOR LIVERPOOL..."
Commenting on the upcoming match against Liverpool on Tuesday, Okan Buruk stated, "Winning is important, it's important to get through these stages by winning. We need to prepare more vigorously for Tuesday. We will play a match at a very high tempo. We need to prepare better. I hope to go into that match with a full squad. The atmosphere of big matches and the preparation of players in big matches are different. We need to experience this in a better way. We have done it before. Liverpool is a very good and fit team. They continue without losing in the league. They have faced difficulties, but they are always a team that knows how to win. We are up against a team that excels in counter-attacks. I believe we will enter this match in a much better condition."
